Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 1167: The Pirate King

As Jason flew towards the Pirate King’s mansion, he quickly used [Eye of the King] to take a look at what was happening on the other continent where the Golden Dragon lives. The Primordial Lightning Dragon and the Jormunga Sea Serpent had finally gotten to the border of the continent. Unlike the Western Continent that was sunny and filled with people, the Eastern Continent looked like something straight out of a dark fantasy movie. It was dreary and cloudy, and there was a large forest that stretched out for miles ahead of you. The moment you arrived there, you would know that you had entered into the territory of a terrifying beast.

’I should’ve gone over there instead. It seems more fun.’

Jason couldn’t stop himself from thinking this, and Jason told the dragon and serpent to hurry up and finish the job. If they didn’t finish before Jason got done here, then he would come over there and kill the dragon himself. The two subordinates agreed, and the moment they arrived, they immediately charged into the forest and started killing multiple TITAN Rank beasts that tried to stand in their way. Jason finally turned his attention away from that, and he looked ahead to see that they were finally at the mansion where the Pirate King lived.

Surprisingly, there was a man standing on the top of a large roof and looking directly at Jason as he approached. Jason allowed his senses to spread out across the region and Jason couldn’t help but scoff in amusement when he realised what had happened.

’What a fucking bastard. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a pirate would do something so twisted.’

Jason diverted his dragon to the side, and the dragon landed on the roof and lowered its head for Jason to get down. Jason landed on the roof a few feet away from the man, and Jason put his hands in his pockets as the two men gazed at each other calmly. There was an intense tension brewing between them, and it was Jason who spoke up first.

"Seeing that you were willing to kill your own allies like this, I can only assume that you’re the Pirate King."

The man opposite Jason grunted, and he gripped the sword in his hand tighter. This man was dressed in a blood-red robe over a simple shirt and thick trousers. He had a large scar that travelled from his nose all the way to his ear, and Jason could see that he was missing a few fingers on his left hand. When Jason had been approaching, he had sent out his senses to search for all the PRIMORDIALS in this building, and Jason had counted three PRIMORDIALS. But after searching again a few seconds ago, Jason hadn’t felt anyone other than the man standing in front of him.

The reason for this was very obvious. The Pirate King had sensed how strong Jason was, and rather than fighting together with his allies, he killed his allies and absorbed their Primordial essence to give himself a better chance of surviving. It was a ruthless thing to do, but Jason couldn’t deny that it was effective. The Pirate King’s power had surged even higher than before, and now Jason felt like he would have a little bit of a challenge facing him. Not much, but just enough for Jason to notice.

"Who sent you here? Was it the Vermillion Raiders?"

This was the first thing that the Pirate King said to Jason, and the Pirate King looked into Jason’s eyes, and he saw how Jason immediately frowned in confusion when he heard that name. The Vermillion Raiders were a group of extremely dangerous PRIMORDIAL Rank mercenaries who were known to go around hunting other PRIMORDIALS to try and gain more Primordial Essence. They were some of the most dangerous fighters in the Zeroth Domain, and the Pirate King always knew that there would come a time when he would have to face them. That was the reason why the Pirate King kept so many Primordials around him for so long.

The Pirate King allowed the other Primordials to live because he wanted them to get stronger, and it was always the Pirate King’s plan to kill the other Primordials when they got strong enough so he could gain their Essence and use the added power to fight against the Vermillions. But from what the Pirate King could see, it was obvious that Jason was not from that group.

"If they didn’t send you, then who are you? You come into my world and begin a war in my kingdom without any justification? Who are you!?"

The Pirate King shouted towards Jason as his power shot up with intensity. The ground under his feet cracked, and the air began to simmer and boil as an intense heat gathered in the Pirate King’s body. From the memories that Jason gained from the other pirates in this world, Jason knew that the Pirate King had been born with a special ability to create superheated magma from his body. The magma was hot enough to burn this entire city to the ground in mere seconds, and it was this power that allowed the Pirate King to stand up to the Kraken and Golden Dragon so many times.

A pirate that fights with magma was not the weirdest thing that Jason had ever seen, but Jason wondered how difficult it must be to use a power like his while surrounded by water. Did the water make his abilities weaker? Or did he have to stay on the ship all the time while using his abilities so he didn’t lose some of his strength? These were the questions going through Jason’s head at that time, and although he was being faced with a dangerous enemy that wanted to kill him no matter what, Jason just didn’t feel the need to care about the Pirate King as much as the Pirate King cared about him.

The Pirate King easily noticed the nonchalant way Jason was acting, and there was a sudden, intense surge of anger that flowed through him as he shouted at Jason.

"Do you think this is some sort of joke!? I’ve been anticipating someone like you for a long time, and I’m more than ready for this!"

BOOM!

The Pirate King suddenly blasted off the ground and shot towards Jason like a missile. There was a trail of fire that followed behind him, and he spun through the air like a bullet before bringing his hand down on Jason in a perfect vertical slash.

CLANG!

Jason brought up one of the swords in his Alternate Dimension and easily blocked the attack, but Jason was shocked when he felt the Pirate King actually pushing him back. Jason took one step back, and the Pirate King’s face split into a wide smile as he spun in the air and sent a kick to Jason’s torso.

BOOM!

Jason was sent flying back, and Jason slammed through the wall of the opposite house and brought down the entire building. Primordial Mana surged through the region as the Pirate King took off after Jason, and the Pirate King put his hand forward and activated the skill [Molten Burst]. A wave of fire that was far stronger than what the Pirate King should be able to create at his level shot out from a magic circle, and the entire region around them erupted in fire. All the pirates who were unlucky enough to be in the environment at the time were immediately consumed by the flames, and massive houses were being melted to the ground as the fire consumed everything around it.
